Daily Drawing Challenge: Day 69 Merry being cute.

zoomer Huey Lewis' hit song It's Based To Be Cringe

Hololive concert going on right now, it's a good day folks

bad MS Paint Rouge was prompted by Sonic '06 but I had to have Merry and Liz add clarifying commentary

Oh man. Oh, do I ever have some thoughts about Sonic '06. Hey @demontomatodave.bsky.social and @shoogles.bsky.social, do you have ten or twelve hours to spare?

hell yeah. Blaze the Cat. finally.

I'm playing Sonic '06 because of the recomp for PC So obviously it's a better experience than I would have had on PS3/360 The game occupies an interesting position in that it is obviously not as bad as everyone says it is but it is still absolutely dreadful.

proctologists be like:

mistake

I've been enjoying some Car Drivey games from the 360 gen recently. Burnout Paradise - GREAT. THE BEST? Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered - GOOD. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) - GREAT. People seem to really dislike this one, on the Internet there. Not sure why.

what if; instead of small; big

Sega Saturn owners in 1995-96 be like:

not terribly challenging, he's the biggest thing on the cover

For what it's worth, fuming Goemon fans... pretty much all those games are fully playable and enjoyable in English. There are some minor sticking points but guides exist. Fan translations also exist. I'm still buying it though. Gotta have Goemon.

REAL NEWS ALERT ACTUAL GOOD THING ALERT

had The Golden Girls on and it really was ahead of its time

i really need to stop watching these Directs

it's really funny that in these trailers every single shot or weapon swing is a miss because any blood would raise the age rating

CONSOLE ARCHIVES? SORRY? WHAT?

A Bomberman comp is cool I guess but none of those games are Bomberman '94 so what the fuck's the point

Kyoto Xanadu!!

So far this Direct fucking sucks.

went looking for a CaB thread about The Golden Girls and ended up laughing at my own 2023 bit, fair play to me I say

There's only one thing worse than Darren Aronofsky using AI to make a movie, and that's him making a movie himself.

A Ren & Stimpy game collection pushes the Gipp buttons, but it's difficult for me to get over the fact that it doesn't have the best - and, in fact only good Ren & Stimpy Game, Stimpy's Invention for Mega Drive. Buckaroo$ on Game Gear is OK too, but that's not there either. Hmm

I am a sucker for James Bond games, even mid ones like 007 Legends. I played Quantum of Solace, Blood Stone, loved them in all their 6/10 glory. Can’t bring myself to be interested in that new 007 First Light game and I think it’s entirely because you are not playing as a recognisable Bond.

oh, not much, just discovered there's a PS2 Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance clone called Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers

critical fail

Not a joke; not a bit - I have only just clocked, in the last 30 seconds, thanks to a passing remark by @masamah.bsky.social, that "Proto Man" is named as such because he is a prototype. I don't know what I thought it was. It never, ever occurred to me despite its stultifying obviousness. Fuck.

A pleasant surprise waiting for me when I got home, no thanks to the postal service who clearly requisitioned that the packaging was fucked, and I don’t mean “fucked” like the slang, I mean they mandated that someone roughly make love to the box for what looks like hours on end

I reckon I could actually take all of the So Solid Crew

If any of those shitty little Mystery Science Theater 3000 dickheads smart-mouthed my movie, I’d make them wish they’d never been born

I’ve just seen David Bowie on the train. I’m not fucking about. It was him. He is alive. Spread the word. He is alive and in Stevenage

has anyone got a video card better than an Nvidia 2070 Super lying around that I can literally just have for free. I ask because this did happen once, I did get one for free, and I’d like to make that come true a second time

Haven’t posted this for a while but the situation is a little bit concerning so throw me a Ko-Fi if you dig my stuff. www.ko-fi.com/stuartgipp

I met a woman in Newcastle who I’ve realised was actually basically Liz. Since I ran into Merry in DC, I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a certain green-skinned sourpuss next time I travel.
